    Great place to review the glorious history of Iran. The atmosphere is incredible. Especially in spring and summer. There is a lot of greenery. In the hot summers of Tehran, it is a cool place. There are always birds cheeping. This palace gives you a calm vibe. I highly recommend visiting the main palace, which was one of the palaces that the Shah family lived in. There are a lot of traditional Persian symbols, but you can also find touches of modern style.

    Niavaran royal palace from the first and second Pahlavi period. It is an amazing place. You can spend a whole day visiting this complex with your family on weekends. It is a piece of art and a piece of history of Iranian monarchy. Everywhere is amazing From the main palace to its unique library that will surprise you. It has a very beautiful with a green landscape and good facilities are also available for you.

    I paid a visit to this place couple of days ago and it was very fulfilling. The complex was well labelled but the only problem is that for a tourist-y place like this, you ought to have english translation as descriptions for everything and they did not. Many places were under construction sadly but the rest was mesmerizing to see. It makes you hate ج.ا even more :)

    The last residence palace and area for living and staying of the last Iran's monarchy "Pahlavi"(20th. Century) before Iran revolution 1978. It is located in a nice atmosphere in the north part of Tehran that us called Shemiran and usually it is cooler than city with beautiful vegetation and tall trees. It was established by the Qajar Era king, Nasireddin Shah in 19th. Century.

    This was really one of the best places I visited in Tehran. I was very surprised to see the architecture of Niavaran Palace and the interior design of the rooms. All the equipment left over from the Pahlavi regime in the palace looked interesting. I would love to see this place again. that was awesome.

    This place was absolutely gorgeous. There are a lot of masterpieces collected by Queen Farah (gifts and purchases) from top-notch artists such as Picasso, Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol. Strongly recommended.

    One of the most attractive palaces of Tehran. I highly recommend visiting the Shah exclusive car museum. There are 2 rolls royce phantoms, the phantom VI and phantom V. It's worth mentioning that only 5 rolls royce phantom VI landane was manufactured all-around the world!

    Definitely one of the must see places in Tehran. The Niavarn Historical Complex consists of several palace buildings and monuments dating back to the Qajar and Pahlavi eras. It includes the private library of Iran's Shah, Ahmad Shahi Pavilion, Sahebqaranieh Palace and the automobile museum. If you are lucky and the weather is good, it's a great place to walk and enjoy the beautiful garden and the great palaces. There is also a coffee shop so you can enjoy your afternoon with a cup of coffee or tea.

    Niavaran Palace is one of the three famous historical palace complexes in Tehran. Different parts of Niavaran Palace have turned into museums full of valuable historical artifacts. If you are interested in studying the history and contemporary culture of Iran, be sure to visit the historical-cultural complex of Niavaran and especially the special palace of Niavaran.

    Niavaran Palace Complex is situated in the northern part of Tehran, Iran in 9000 square meters area. It consists of several buildings and a museum. The Sahebqaraniyeh Palace from the time of Nasir al-Din Shah of Qajar dynasty is also inside this complex. The main Niavaran Palace, completed in 1968, was the primary residence of the last Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and the Imperial family until the Iranian Revolution

    The coffee shop is nice, it's decent and the cats just make it super cute, could potentially consider it a cat Cafe shop The actual palace is nice (I didn't go in, was going to just check the cafe shop) but from out side it's very pretty, you have to consider it's reasonably old and for it's time it's massive.

    One of the best and most beautiful palaces of the era of Iran's greatness. It is in the best part of the city with great weather. Visiting this palace is not without pleasure. Many signs of Iran's greatness can be found in this place. Walking in the open air. In addition to peace, this palace gives a sense of pride. Be sure to visit this place and review the past of your country and don't let the nonsense of this corrupt government destroy the proud history of this country. There is also a very good cafe in the open air. You can have a breath of fresh air there. There are very good drinks that you can try and watch

    One of my fav place in the town. U can enjoy mid 19th till late 20th century modern architecture. Which were build by Qajar and later Pahlavi dynasty. U can visit the palaces or just walk around the garden. There is also a cafe there which is not my most fav one but good enough to take rest, smell coffee n listen to the birds.

    Great place to learn more about the Pahlavi family, it was used as their daily residence and still has many things the family had during their time living there, which is very interesting to see. The prince Reza Mansion is full of interesting stuff that shows the crown prince's childhood and teenagershood. The best museum I would recommend is the museum that shows the family's art Collection,where you can find some of the biggest artists pieces, including Andy Warhol, Gaudi and Picasso. As well as middle Eastern artists that not easy to see elsewhere. The family no doubt has great taste in art and decorations

    The Niavaran Complex is truly a marvel, offering a captivating journey through Iran's rich history and culture. The opulent palaces, exquisite artwork, and serene gardens provide a glimpse into the grandeur of the Pahlavi era, evoking a sense of admiration and wonder. Visiting this remarkable place is sure to leave you with a profound appreciation for the beauty and heritage of Iran and the legacy of the Pahlavi dynasty.

    This palace is a relic of the Pahlavi dynasty. A palace full of secrets! In this palace, you can also use the facilities of the coffee shop in addition to the historical visit. Although I prefer walking in Saadabad Palace, I also like this palace.

    beautiful The complex traces its origin to a garden in the region of Niavaran, which was used as a summer residence by Fath-Ali Shah (1772–1834) of the Qajar Dynasty.[citation needed] A pavilion was built in the garden by the order of Naser ed Din Shah (1831–1896) of the same dynasty, which was initially referred to as Niavaran, and was later renamed Saheb Qaranie. The pavilion of Ahmad Shah Qajar (1898–1930) was built in the late Qajar period.[citation needed] During the reign of the Pahlavi Dynasty, a new palace named Niavaran was built for the imperial family of Mohammad Reza Shah (1919–1980). The palace was designed in 1958 and completed in 1967. It served a variety of purposes for the imperial court including as a home for the Shah and Empress as well a place to entertain visiting foreign heads of state. On New Year's Eve 1977, the reception and state banquet for US President Jimmy Carter took place here

    I love this place! Specifically I'm in love with the decoration and architecture! Farah Pahlavi's library is full of artworks and books. It's a treasure, but they are going to ruining it....

    It's amazing . A collection of 9 historical places all collected in a beautiful big garden which you can feel great peace by walking there and listening to birds' chimes while enjoying drinking or eating something in the cafe there.

    4 star only because I want to say the other two famous places are much more beautiful ( golestan , and saad-abbad) , specially considering that the main hall is not open to show at moment and is under some restoration. Yet if you are staying in Tehran enough, it would be nice to check it as well.

    A majestic palace with multiple museums inside. Visitors can find a collection of art and antiquities gathered by the former regime's queen. The main building has kingly architecture, demonstrating both Iranian style and modernity in its design.

    A beautiful garden with buildings that go back to the time of Qajar and Pahlavi dynasties. I love the atmosphere in general. The green space because of tall tress, grass and bushes of flowers that give a beautiful color to the environment.
